Did they fix the coil whine on the Dell machines?

As someone who has had one for a year, it never affected me. It always seemed like FUD to me, but maybe it affected someone.
Most of the developers at my office are using the 9360. Every single one of those machines is subject to coil whine at load.
Maybe your hearing is just shot.
They changed the cooling solution completely this year, so the coil whine is much less of an issue. I'm sure some may still have it, but from my sample size of 1 I haven't had a problem.
Yes.
